.DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1122 AM CDT FRI OCT 21 2011/
DISCUSSION...15Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A 1025 MB RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS IS RESULTING IN
SUNNY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S AT MOST
LOCATIONS. 925 MB TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 6 TO 9C WILL RESULT IN

CURRENTLY...COLD HIGH PRESSURE SITS ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. CLEAR SKIES AND CALM/LIGHT WINDS PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA.
EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING HAS ALLOWED TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE
30S AREA WIDE WITH A COUPLE PLACES NEAR THE FREEZING MARK. A
COUPLE OF HOURS REMAIN BEFORE MIN TEMPS ARE REACHED SO SOME MORE
LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY HIT THE FREEZING MARK BEFORE THE SUN COMES
UP. A FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM ACROSS EASTERN
AREAS WITH A FROST ADVISORY ELSEWHERE.
TODAY AND TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRACK VERY SLOWLY TO THE
EAST. EXPECT LIGHT WINDS AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TODAY WITH HIGHS
WARMING IN THE MID 60S...WHICH IS STILL SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN A NEAR REPEAT OF THIS
MORNING COLD TEMPERATURES. 850 MB TEMPS DO CLIMB A LITTLE FROM
ABOUT 4C THIS MORNING TO 7C SATURDAY MORNING AND 1000-500MB
THICKNESSES RISE ABOUT 30M SO PERHAPS THE RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL
NOT BE AS QUITE AS EFFICIENT. HOWEVER SURFACE WINDS ARE LIKELY TO
GO CALM SOONER THAN LAST NIGHT WHICH WILL AID COOLING. ATTM IT
LOOKS LIKE FREEZING TEMPS ARE LIKELY AGAIN ACROSS EASTERN
AREAS...FREEZE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED...WITH TEMPS MAINLY IN THE
30S ELSEWHERE...FROST ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SLIP
SLOWLY EAST AND THE AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE WITH TEMPS
CLIMBING CLOSE TO NORMAL. CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE SATURDAY
NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHES. AS A RESULT TEMPS
WILL BE MILDER WITH SOME UPPER 30S NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER TO
AROUND 50 IN MEMPHIS.
SUNDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA
WITH A FEW SHOWERS. SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WILL RETURN ALLOWING
TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 70S DESPITE SOME CLOUDS AND PRECIP.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
SITUATED TO THE EAST WITH WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH.
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL ALSO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA RESULTING IN A
RETURN TO MUCH WARMER TEMPS...LOWER 80S BY TUESDAY.
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING A FRONT ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH DURING THIS
